Ep. 138. BREAKING MARVEL NEWS! · Vigilante Vibes Podcast

  Hi guys, it's Megan from Vigilante Vibes and I started my
• 0:19
  day telling myself I would not be online, I would not be
• 0:22
  posting, I would not be doing anything because nothing's going
• 0:25
  to happen today and I have never been more wrong.
• 0:30
  Variety, Deadline, collidercomicbook.com all had
• 0:35
  sit down interviews with Kevin Feige who is the head of Marvel
• 0:38
  Studios and he spilled so much tea.
• 0:42
  He talked about so many things and I am going to go over every
• 0:47
  single thing with you and it's a lot.
• 0:51
  But come on, he can't drop all this knowledge and I not make a
• 0:55
  video about it. So I'm not even quite sure where
• 1:03
  to start. I guess like the first thing I
• 1:05
  posted was about Kevin Feige talking about Marvel Studios
• 1:08
  pivoting from King to Doctor Doom, which I think we all were.
• 1:11
  Like obviously it was because of Jonathan Majors.
• 1:14
  His quote is even before what had happened to the actor, we
• 1:18
  had started to realize that King wasn't Thanos.
• 1:21
  There was only one character that could be that because he
• 1:24
  was that in the comics for decades and decades.
• 1:26
  And because of the Fox acquisition, we finally had it
• 1:30
  and that's Doctor Doom. We had started talking about
• 1:33
  Doctor Doom even before we officially pivoted from King.
• 1:37
  According to him, they were talking about Doctor Doom even
• 1:39
  before Ant Man quantum mania, which is Kevin.
• 1:46
  You know that's a lie. I know you have to say it, but
• 1:50
  you can't even say Jonathan Major's name in this.
• 1:52
  You've referred to him as the actor, which I want to be
• 1:55
  perfectly clear, I do not want Majors back after what he did
• 2:00
  and he admitted to doing, per Rolling Stones, which recorded
• 2:07
  him admitting to what he did to this girl, I did not want him
• 2:12
  back. I do not want him back.
• 2:13
  I wanted King to be recast. I did not want to pivot to Doom.
• 2:17
  I think King has so much more in them, but also I think what
• 2:22
  better character to introduce Doom and show how high the
• 2:25
  stakes are and what a powerhouse he is would there be rather than
• 2:29
  King? They were so intermittent in the
• 2:31
  comics. They were not intermittent.
• 2:33
  That's not the right word. They're so intermingled in the
• 2:35
  comics. They just go hand in hand.
• 2:39
  So why wouldn't you use King to at least introduce Doctor Doom
• 2:42
  instead of this wild pivot? It just, it didn't sit right in
• 2:47
  my soul. It still doesn't.
• 2:50
  And but I guess that's what the company wants Kevin to say.
• 2:53
  Whatever. Moving on.
• 2:56
  What else did he talk about? Blade?
• 2:59
  The the, I think we've all had our fun poking fun at what was
• 3:05
  supposed to be Blade, According to him.
• 3:08
  We didn't want to put a leather outfit on him and have him start
• 3:12
  killing vampires. You can start and have a good
• 3:14
  script and make it a great script through production, but
• 3:17
  we didn't feel confident we could do that with Blade.
• 3:20
  We didn't want to do that to Mahershali and didn't want to do
• 3:23
  that to us. I'm here to tell you, Kevin, we
• 3:27
  want you to put him in a leather outfit and start have him
• 3:29
  killing vampires. That's exactly what we want you
• 3:31
  to do. But if if I think if they would
• 3:36
  have continued the road trying to force blade to happen, it
• 3:40
  would have been trash. They they didn't have a script,
• 3:43
  they didn't have a solid director, they didn't have
• 3:45
  anything. They still don't.
• 3:47
  He says it's still happening, But it's like, why though?
• 3:54
  Like just just leave it behind, Let it let it marinate.
• 3:59
  That's fine. It's not a big deal, he says.
• 4:03
  Additionally to it, he revealed that there are 4 versions of
• 4:07
  Blades in the works, two of them period pieces, one of them set
• 4:11
  in the 1930s, he said. We landed on a modern day and
• 4:14
  that's what we're focusing on. So it's very much still
• 4:18
  happening. But just wait till the next
• 4:23
  phase, see how Doomsday and Secret Wars goes.
• 4:26
  Then go back to Blade because right now it's you got y'all's
• 4:29
  head's not in it. I'm sorry.
• 4:30
  It's all about Doctor Doom and that's OK.
• 4:33
  Just let it go. It's not a big deal.
• 4:37
  So Speaking of back to Doctor Doom, actually speaking on
• 4:43
  Secret Wars, he talks about a potential reboot after Avenger
• 4:48
  Secret Wars. He says reboot is a scary word.
• 4:50
  Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people.
• 4:53
  Reset singular timeline. We're thinking along those line
• 4:56
  lines. X-Men is where that will happen
• 4:58
  next. That is per deadline.
• 5:02
  So that's big. I mean, so we are getting a
• 5:08
  reboot, at least some kind of reboot.
• 5:09
  But also Speaking of X-Men, Kevin Feige says Jake Schreyer,
• 5:14
  who is the director of Thunderbolts, is officially
• 5:16
  signed on to direct X-Men. He says it's all starting now.
• 5:20
  The script's underway. That is per comicbook.com with
• 5:23
  his talk with them. But he also says that the X-Men
• 5:27
  reboot film will be a very youth oriented, focused and cast
• 5:31
  movie. So it'll be younger X-Men, which
• 5:35
  is pretty. I like that.
• 5:37
  Keep him there for a long time. That's exactly what I want.
• 5:41
  Thank you. But also, he does talk about
• 5:48
  what happens when they over expanded.
• 5:53
  He says that the delays on Blade were a symptom of Marvel's over
• 5:57
  expansion. He says, he says for the first
• 6:00
  time ever, quantity trump quality.
• 6:02
  We had spent 12 years working on the Infinity Saga, saying
• 6:05
  there's that's never going to happen to us.
• 6:08
  We always had more characters that people were asking about
• 6:11
  than we could possibly make because we weren't going to make
• 6:14
  a movie a month. That's crazy.
• 6:16
  Suddenly there's a mandate to make more and we go, well, we do
• 6:19
  have more, but maybe that's what we fell into.
• 6:23
  That is Kevin Feige saying he is done with a certain Bob Chapeck.
• 6:29
  And I think we're all very done with Bob Chapeck.
• 6:31
  So cool. I'm down for it.
• 6:34
  So there's a lot more stuff that we're that I'm going to jump
• 6:36
  around to because all of this breaking news was a lot to take
• 6:39
  in at once because they all dropped at the same time.
• 6:43
  It was, it was so much so he talks about Marvel Studios
• 6:47
  making more R rated films. He says are there more R rated
• 6:51
  MCU movies after making the highest grossing R rated movie
• 6:54
  of all time with Deadpool Wolverine at 1.33 billion.
• 6:58
  Sure, where appropriate and where necessary.
• 7:02
  OK, well I like that. So he does say that Marvel
• 7:07
  Studios current plan goes all the way to 2032.
• 7:10
  He said it's a seven-year plan. I think it goes to 2032.
• 7:13
  It's on magnets and it can move around.
• 7:15
  So that means their dream board is basically on magnets.
• 7:19
  But he also says that it's pretty inevitable that the main
• 7:22
  Avengers will get recast for the eventual X-Men saga, he says.
• 7:27
  I think it's hard for anyone to do that when an actor has done
• 7:30
  such a great job in that role, he said.
• 7:32
  How are they going to ever replace Sean Connery as James
• 7:35
  Bond? Right?
• 7:37
  Fair. But speaking on other characters
• 7:40
  in the MCU, he talked about Miles Morales.
• 7:44
  He says that is nowhere. He said until Sony Pictures,
• 7:47
  which hold which holds the film rights to the character,
• 7:50
  completes its animated Miles trilogy with 2027 Spider man
• 7:54
  beyond the spider verse. We have been told to stay away.
• 7:57
  So I'm assuming that means for Gwen Stacy too, which whatever.
• 8:02
  I mean I'm excited for spider verse beyond the spider verse
• 8:05
  movie. I'm it did recently get delayed
• 8:09
  but not too long. It's still in 2027.
• 8:11
  It's whatever. Take as much time as you need.
• 8:14
  I'm good because if it's as good as quality as the other two, I
• 8:18
  am good. But my people, we, we won Mr.
• 8:26
  Stark, we won. Kevin Feige says Spiderman Brand
• 8:30
  New Day is a street level story. He says him being by himself,
• 8:35
  dedicated to saving the city and dealing with, for lack of a
• 8:38
  better term, St. level crime as opposed to the world ending
• 8:41
  events. He also confirmed that Jon
• 8:44
  Bernthal as the Punisher will be in that movie too.
• 8:47
  You guys, this is what we're asking for.
• 8:50
  Street level Spider man, that is what we need.
• 8:56
  We needed this as as a society, we needed this.
• 9:01
  But we're here. Thank you Jesus, thank you
• 9:04
  Kevin, and probably no thank you to Sony because I bet y'all
• 9:08
  wanted multiversal thing. No one hates Spider Man fans
• 9:11
  more than Sony. Can we all just admit that?
• 9:15
  But he also spoke on the Fantastic Four.
• 9:18
  I think it's no. It's pretty well known that the
• 9:22
  Fantastic Four is Kevin Feige's favorite team right around the
• 9:26
  X-Men. So I always knew Fantastic Four
• 9:29
  would do incredibly well in theaters because they put all
• 9:32
  the look they had into it so far.
• 9:34
  Marvel ended the embargo, social media embargo very early, I
• 9:38
  think to get ahead of San Diego Comic Con.
• 9:40
  So it was a few days ago, Friday, Saturday, I don't know,
• 9:45
  they all all the days are blending together, but all of
• 9:48
  the reviews have been nothing short of glowing.
• 9:52
  So we're going to see it this week and I am so excited.
• 9:56
  So make sure you have like and subscribe so you don't miss my
• 9:59
  review of it because I always do a review as soon as I get home
• 10:02
  from the theater. No notes, no nothing, just
• 10:05
  vibes. So make sure you don't miss
• 10:07
  that. But back to what I was saying,
• 10:09
  Kevin Feige on the Fantastic Four, he says why Fantastic
• 10:13
  Four, explains Feige. Because it's Marvel's first
• 10:16
  family. It's in the history of our
• 10:18
  characters. They deserve to be the A
• 10:20
  Listers. They were the A Listers in the
• 10:22
  comics. Every crossover movie we've made
• 10:24
  in the Infinity Saga, Civil War leading to Infinity War and End
• 10:27
  Game, which is really the Infinity Saga from the comics.
• 10:30
  The Fantastic Four were huge players in those comics and
• 10:33
  obviously we couldn't do that with then.
• 10:36
  Highly agree they are. So they are just so involved in
• 10:41
  so much of A comic, so much of the huge events, they're
• 10:44
  everywhere. So of course they have to be
• 10:47
  there. Like, I love it.
• 10:50
  I love what's going on. But my one of my last things,
• 10:55
  Kevin Feige on his future at Marvel Studios.
• 10:58
  This has been a rumor that's been annoying the piss out of me
• 11:01
  lately because all of you, I am so sorry, not all of you.
• 11:06
  I'm I'm really hyped up right now.
• 11:09
  So I'm so sorry if I get rude. A lot of you have believed A
• 11:14
  rumor that originated on Twitter that Kevin Feige is going to
• 11:17
  give up Marvel right after Secret Wars.
• 11:20
  Which come on guys, Kevin Feige is Marvel Studios who who would
• 11:25
  take his spot? Name one person.
• 11:29
  But he talks about his future with Marvel Studios putting
• 11:32
  those rumors to rest while his contract is up in two years, he
• 11:37
  tells Deadline. Do I want to be making big
• 11:39
  movies for big audiences in 10 or 15 years from now?
• 11:43
  Yes, that's all I want to do. Marvel is a great way to do
• 11:46
  that. So I like that he actually said
• 11:50
  something about this that needed to be said.
• 11:54
  Put these stupid rumors to rest. Finally, Kevin Feige is speaking
• 12:00
  out. He speaks out maybe like once a
• 12:02
  year, which is kind of nuts because it's like so much is
• 12:05
  happening in Marvel Studios, so many rumors, so many things that
• 12:08
  have to get verified by Deadline, Hollywood Reporter,
• 12:12
  all those other big, as close as you can get to confirmed
• 12:15
  platforms, they have to be the ones to confirm it.
• 12:17
  It's like, why don't you just speak?
• 12:20
  That's what I've always liked about James Gunn at DC.
• 12:24
  He does not care. He will speak on anything.
• 12:26
  He will come out of the woodwork and talk about anything.
• 12:29
  He will answer your questions. He will put to bed any stupid
• 12:32
  rumor that's going around. That's what I like.
• 12:35
  And I think Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige should take a leaf
• 12:39
  out of that book, take a page out of that book, take a page.
• 12:44
  But Speaking of James Gunn, he speaks on James Gunn, actually.
• 12:49
  He talks about how much he liked the Superman movie, which we all
• 12:53
  did. Let's be honest, like it was so
• 12:56
  well loved and I I love that freaking movie.
• 13:00
  But he says about the movie. It's clearly not super fatigue,
• 13:03
  right. I liked it a lot added Feige
• 13:06
  added of the DC film. I love you just jump right into
• 13:10
  it. You don't know who Mr. Terrific
• 13:11
  is tough. You'll figure it out.
• 13:13
  This is a fully fleshed out world.
• 13:15
  I actually really, really, really dug that too.
• 13:18
  So he's right. I like it so much.
• 13:23
  And there's just, he dropped so much here that I'm going through
• 13:30
  all my notes right now. So give me a second.
• 13:34
  So another thing he said was that he plans on making less
• 13:38
  content as a cure for superhero fatigue.
• 13:40
  He says making two or three movies a year.
• 13:42
  Some years it will be 1, some years it will be 3.
• 13:45
  Will be down to a single live action show a year.
• 13:50
  OK. I mean, like, that's fine.
• 13:53
  That whatever, that's fine, I don't care.
• 13:57
  Another thing he talks about was making lackluster movies.
• 14:02
  He says Captain America, Brave New World didn't work as it was
• 14:05
  the first without Chris Evans adding Thunderbolts was a very
• 14:09
  good movie, but nobody knew that title and many of those
• 14:12
  characters were from shows. There was that residual effect
• 14:16
  of audiences going. I guess I had to have seen these
• 14:19
  other shows to understand who this is.
• 14:22
  Now it makes sense why they revealed the name of the team.
• 14:27
  It was the New Avengers. Spoiler alert.
• 14:33
  It makes sense why they revealed that like 3 days after it hit
• 14:36
  theaters, because I get it. But like at the same time, it's
• 14:40
  like it it did. Well, you know what I don't?
• 14:45
  I don't know. I don't to be honest with you
• 14:47
  guys, I don't like how us as an audience are so focused on what
• 14:50
  movies make and all that. I think I let, I want to go back
• 14:53
  to the point where we just minded our business and solely
• 14:56
  made our decisions on whether we liked it or not.
• 14:59
  Not This movie made this and this was its budget.
• 15:01
  That's none of our business. Just move on.
• 15:03
  Another thing he said was that he has had talks with Ryan
• 15:06
  Reynolds about what's next for Deadpool and the MCU.
• 15:10
  And that's all he said, like OK cool.
• 15:18
  Other than that, Kevin Feige also admits that One Division
• 15:20
  and Loki are some of the best stories they've made at MCU.
• 15:25
  True, very true. Both had such incredible depth.
• 15:29
  I can't say that about Loki. Season 1, it just kind of
• 15:32
  dragged on for me. But season 2, I loved it.
• 15:36
  Show could have got me pregnant, it was so good.
• 15:39
  Another thing he said, Kevin Feige says I'm in Vilani is one
• 15:42
  of the greatest castings Marvel has ever done and he cannot wait
• 15:46
  to see where she appears next. So for those who don't know, I'm
• 15:50
  in Vilani. She is Miss Marvel, Kamala Khan,
• 15:54
  and this is her first acting gig.
• 15:55
  Like she's just a big old nerd like the rest of us.
• 15:58
  She is the Marvel nerd and she is living the Marvel nerd dream.
• 16:02
  And I think us, This Is Us as a society, need to make sure we do
• 16:07
  not ruin this time for her, keep the toxicity away from her.
• 16:12
  Let her live. She's already written Miss
• 16:14
  Marvel Comics and they weren't bad.
• 16:16
  I actually really like I, I dug them.
• 16:19
  So let's just let her keep being her.
• 16:24
  So that's all he said. I'm I'm sure there's other
• 16:29
  things that are going to come out, but like with four
• 16:31
  different articles with so much information coming in, I was so
• 16:36
  overwhelmed because I was just laying on the couch like, Oh my
• 16:40
  God, he's saying so much and I was just scrolling.
• 16:42
  So I hope I got everything for you.
• 16:45
  If I didn't let me know in the comments because I don't want to
• 16:48
  be that one that forgot that one big thing.
• 16:50
